A couple of days before the siege and destruction of Nanjing happened on Dec 7th, 1937, the Japanese dropped leaflets over the then-Chinese capital with the following to the people of Nanjing.

The Japanese Army, one million strong, has already conquered Jiangnan. We have surrounded the city of Nanking … The Japanese Army shall show no mercy toward those who offer resistance, treating them with extreme severity, but shall harm neither innocent civilians nor Chinese military personnel who manifest no hostility. It is our earnest desire to preserve the East Asian culture. If your troops continue to fight, war in Nanking is inevitable. A culture that has endured for a millennium will be reduced to ashes, and a government that has lasted for a decade will vanish into thin air. This commander-in-chief issues a warning to your troops on behalf of the Japanese Army. Open the gates to Nanking in a peaceful manner, and take the aforementioned action.
